H2-View News: EU confirms ReFuelEU Aviation SAF mandates will not be weakened
Proposed by the European Commission in 2021, the ReFuelEU Aviation framework is part of the EU’s “Fit for 55” climate package, which aims to cut EU greenhouse-gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. The regulation is designed to support the scale-up of low-carbon aviation fuels, including eSAF produced using renewable hydrogen. In an announcement, the EU’s transport arm reaffirmed the penalties and obligations outlined in the ReFuelEU Aviation initiative after reports they may be scrapped. The post follows policy discussions around the need for clear penalties for missing fuel quotas under the mandates, which dictate that at least 10% [...]
H2-View News: Grid constraints halt Hy2Gen 270MW green ammonia project in Norway
The Iverson eFuels plant had been expected to produce 200,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year by 2030, but was cancelled amid uncertainty over when new grid capacity could become available. Norwegian grid operator Statnett withdrew the project’s power allocation in late 2025, but Iverson eFuels only confirmed the project’s cancellation this month (March). “Statnett has stated that new capacity may only become available once the upgraded grid is completed, expected in the period 2033–2035. At the same time, there is no guarantee as to when the upgraded grid will be ready,” Iverson eFuels said in a statement. Significant resources [...]
H2-View News: Swedish hydrogen-based e-methane project proceeds to pre-FEED
Renewable energy firm OX2, forestry association Södra, and project developer TES have entered the pre-front-end engineering (pre-FEED) phase for the project. One operational, the plant aims to produce around 86,000 tonnes of e-NG per annum by combining hydrogen produced onsite using renewable electricity with biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from Södra’s pulp mill at Värö. The project has secured SEK 16.8 million (€1.6m) in funding from Sweden’s Energy Agency and aims to be operational by the early 2030s. An offtake agreement with an unnamed energy major covering most of the facility’s production capacity has already been signed, according to the [...]
H2-View News: NSW backs $70m green hydrogen-ammonia project to decarbonise farming
The facility, planned for NSW’s town of Moree, will provide up to 4,500 tonnes of green ammonia to replace conventionally produced fertilisers. The project, set to receive AUD $45.2m ($31.7m) in NSW government funding, aims to launch by early 2027. It reached financial close in July 2025. A joint venture between Hiringa Energy and Sundown Pastoral Company dubbed the Good Earth Green Hydrogen and Ammonia project (GEGHA), it will produce green ammonia through an on-site electrolyser supplying around 225 tonnes of clean hydrogen per year. Details around the electrolyser and subsequent ammonia synthesis systems remain unclear. It will primarily supply [...]
H2-View News: European hydrogen confidence rises after key EU policy moves
Europe’s outlook on hydrogen has remained neutral since October 2025, but sentiment turned more positive in March. The shift coincided with major European policy decisions, including the EU’s rejection of calls to exempt fertilisers from its carbon border levies, and the European Commission’s Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA) proposal. The index showed a swing from a balanced picture in December 2025 to stronger confidence in March, with 58% of European respondents saying they are confident in the growth and commercial viability prospects of the hydrogen value chain. Those expressing concern accounted for less than a quarter (23%) of European respondents. Conducted [...]
H2-View News: Chinese firm supplies electrolysers to Oman’s first green ammonia plant
The systems will produce hydrogen for Acme Group’s 100,000 tonnes-per-year green ammonia facility in the Duqm Special Economic Zone. The 80MW of electrolysers are set for deployment on the 80km2 site for the project’s first phase. When its second and third phases are completed, it is expected to produce up to 900,000 tonnes-per-year. In March 2024, Norwegian chemical company, Yara International, entered a non-binding agreement with ACME for the offtake of 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia tonnes-per-annum, the full annual production capacity of the project’s first phase This comes as Chinese manufacturers move into the global electrolyser market. Despite that [...]
H2-View News: Ukraine and Austria partner on green hydrogen development
The document, inked at a meeting in Ukraine, outlines the development of production capacity, creation of infrastructure, and unlocking of investment in the sector. Denys Shmyhal, Ukraine’s First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy, said that the new partnership expands on the countries’ work across energy sectors and prioritises Ukrainian underground gas storage and joint gas production facilities. Formalised in a meeting with Austria’s Federal Minister of Economics, Energy and Tourism, Wolfgang Gattmannsdorfer, the memorandum of cooperation comes alongside Austria contributing €15.5m ($17.9m) to Ukraine’s Energy Support Fund. While details on undertakings of the partnership remain unclear, Shymyhal thanked [...]
H2-View News: Hydrogen, clean energy lobby urge EU to defend ETS amid calls for reform
Clean hydrogen and energy groups are urging Brussels to defend the EU’s carbon pricing system as several member states push to weaken it. Lobby groups representing the wind, solar, hydrogen, and nuclear sectors argued against short-term interventions on the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), the bloc’s tool to charge industry and power producers based on their carbon dioxide emissions.

H2-View News: Hexagon Purus lands €6.2m European order for hydrogen distribution units
The purchase order for its hydrogen distribution trailers using Type 4 cylinders came from a “leading Central European integrated energy company” and covers the delivery of the units. Available in sizes from 10ft to 45ft, Hexagon says its distribution units can supply hydrogen to industrial sites and hydrogen refuelling stations. The purchased units will be produced in the company’s facility in Weeze, Germany. While the customer was not revealed, CEO Morten Holum said the company was happy to aid the customer’s “growing mobility infrastructure network.” “This order is a direct result of our recent efforts to diversify the customer base [...]
H2-View News: Minnesota farms look to decentralised hydrogen-based ammonia for fertiliser
Agricultural cooperative Central Farm Service (CFS), agriculture technology firm TalusAG, and clean energy tracking organisation CleanCounts, say the project could supply CFS member owners through two modular ammonia systems made by Talus. These systems are positioned as a way to localise ammonia production to avoid fertiliser price fluctuations linked to natural gas prices. The trio is banking on support from the state to deliver the first local commercial production facilities supplying fertiliser for 100,000 acres of farmland. Talus says its Talus10 systems will deliver ammonia at or near the point of end-use from power, water, and air. H2 View understands [...]
